“Stunning, painful, maddening, and to my mind one of the best representations of gay men I’ve seen. I’m still processing it to be honest, but this is something everyone should see.” Scott Colbert, The Supernaughts Podcast

Award-winning film director Kurtz Frausun, captures a gay couple's relationship struggles and the death of a parent, set in the backdrop of their apartment during a snow storm, in the new documentary, Candid Love.

Jon and Daniel have been working on building a life together after both have experienced recent difficulties. But the news of Daniel's father having an aneurism sends the already strained relationship into a panic-mode when he must disappear to Wisconsin to be by his dad's side. Sadly, by the time he arrives, it's too late. His father has fallen into a coma and the family decides to end treatment.

Jon remains in Dallas, trying to keep the home going and being a rock for Daniel to rely upon. But with Daniel's history of alcoholism and depression, the strain becomes even greater, causing them to question their motives, the meaning of family, and the future of their relationship.
